/lit/ - Literature

Shitposting on /lit/, obviously. I'm going to pray the Rosary in a bit. Probably read later, too. Although a friend of mine is having a party in our building which I also may attend.

I'm in that usual state of saturday night in the modern world, reeling from all the options of different ways to waste my time and placate my violent craving for meaning

woah. you btfo'd me so bad I became a Real Man™ and stopped worrying about childish gay-ass things like meaning.

I'm sipping on water and reading Epictetus' Discourses.

>>11366040
I'm watching an ASMR girlfriend simulator on youtube, trying to stave off my persistent depression.
It's not working.
If anything, it's making it worse.

Im not sure why my photos always upload upside down, but oh well. Today is the second day of quitting nicotine. Best start while i’m ahead i say. But i can feel the withdrawal side effects, especially a mild depression. I napped three times today and haven’t eaten. Getting focused to read requires caffine, but i can manage it. Hopefully these symptoms start to go away soon.

i just fixed my wallet with a bit of sewing and now im eating some scones that i got from my panera-employed bff

>>11366854
fricken phonepoasting

>>11366851
how long had you smoked for? was there something specific that made you quit?

ive been smoking for about a year or two now and i only enjoy the first drag, then i just sit there smoking saying to myself "im not even enjoying this" yet 2 hours later i pick it up again and expect something different to happen.

literally can't make it more than five seconds into that video

>>11366873
Two years now, and i stopped without tapering off. I basically picked a day about a week ago and decided to quit then

Really there’s a number of reasons, but the biggest for me was the dependency. Like you have a somewhat stressful situation, or you’re a little mad, you automatically run for a smoke as a way of coping with emotions. How you would’ve dealt with those things has changed, since now you just mentally block it all out in a state of reverie and a cigerette between your fingers. i’m paranoid that this is rewiring your dopamine-reward system for the worse. Also black lungs nigga

You just gotta make it through the first 2-7 days is what i hear

Canonization by John Donne I literally got more confused after reading the poem

>have to sleep on the couch because your roommate brings home a girl
d-do you two sleep together

>>11367127
Bunk buddies most likely

>>11367129
why do they have a couch then

>>11367133
It is probably in front of a tele in a different room

>>11367127
It’s a shared room in a two-story apartment. Rent here’s not cheap.

>>11367163
Why dont you each take a floor

>>11367163
i'm not judging
>tfw no qt /lit/ roommate to fuck in the ass

>>11367168
Because there’s gonna be somebody renting the couch tomorrow. Swear to god, we put the couch up for rent and got multiple offers.

Listening to Bach in bed. Thinking about that dream I had. Very lovely Chinese girl; we got on well had had some good laughs together. Made out a bit and planned on sharing a bed for the night as the local retard needed to sleep in hers. Recently I awoke from said dream; quite a pleasant sense of longing. Going to get some things ready for a day walking and reading in the countryside now.

>>11366068
That image seems like the opposite kind of person that would pray

Feels good man.

damn we really do live in a society

>>11367468
There it is.

>>11367470
Do you think you'd miss it if you left?
I dream of a lonely glass house on black sand far above the arctic circle.

Maybe I'd go nuts in a year though

>>11367495
You'd probably go nuts sooner than that.

I'm a pretty anti-social person, but one thing I've figured out is that I'm not an introverted schizoid, I'm just an insecure loner who doesn't have a set of friends he's truly congruent with.

>>11367495
>I dream of a lonely glass house on black sand far above the arctic circle

I need a book like this but in a hot desert instead of a cold one.

>>11367508
Read the Desert Fathers

Miserable life-denying bastards

>>11367499
I suppose you'd need at east some people around. Too bad northern alaska is only trailer trash and qt but hostile eskimos.

I get the loner thing though. You're supposed to find like-minded people in college, but there was absolutely no one

>>11366152
shut up bitch I am trying to watch a movie here

In a way I think I'll be like my father, not really any close friends, but with a wife who reaches all the needs for companionship.

Currently watching CBS Sunday Morning, about to go on a walk, which should be nice. I usually come up with ideas for poetry while walking.

Be more specific, anon.

>>11367362
I agree, but you know why? Because soifags pray to thanos and rick and morty instead of god. Both are retarded, at least catholicucks take it seriously i guess.

>>11367448
>can't spell "flute" or "poetry"

Atheists are the biggest basedboys out there, though.

I’m watching the sopranos with my pants half off so that the reek from my cock makes me remember to shower. I guess I’m reading castle to castle, but pretty slowly.

I'm in starbucks trying to think of what to do with my day

Eating pizza, reading The New York Trilogy.

Feeling comfy tonight.

drinking some tea, read some Berdyaev, gonna play some Elder Scrolls now.

Currently wondering what the fuck I want to do. I feel rebellious against something but I haven't decided what. I'm 20 if you haven't guessed.

Book VII of Pappus' Collection, working for 8 hours (just started my shift)

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo whatcha guys been up to?

I'm drinking jasmine green tea while shitposting on /lit/, after I make this post I'll sit down to watch suspiria, an Italian horror movie from the 70s, I don't know much about it other than that. earlier today I went to the park and sat in the rose garden reading Forever War by Joe Haldeman which I started reading last november on a flight to Kiev and hadn't touched since until today. I've almost finished my tea, I'm going to watch Suspira.

Going to head down the garden. Smoke my pipe for a bit. Decide what I want to do tomorrow. Probably read a little after.

>>11366068
But these types of people replace the God shaped hole in their hearts with geek culture

You guys have it all wrong. There is nothing more soi than being an atheist.

There's nothing more soi than "turning the other cheek" like a bitch

I'm writing a story about a child whose mother mysteriously turned into a fox so he had to go to an orphanage.

I'll go back to writing after I go visit the local council offices because I have some registrations to fill out and pay for, but until I go see the council I'm shitposting here. Obviously.

>>11370105
Haha, yeah, but not deliberately. I'm just extremely shit at remembering to eat so I unintentionally fast until I realise I'm kinda dizzy and shaky then go have a couple of crackers or something.

>>11370145
You should try fasting longer. When you get past the dizzy phase you become ultra focused.

>>11370151
Eh, I'll pass. I've done all sorts of accidental fastings, including ignoring the dizzy/shaky phase, and pretty much all that happens is I skip straight to the nauseous/anxious stage, which is a bad time.

And then I stay in the nauseous/anxious stage, which I know because I once went on a hunger strike for two weeks because of unfair treatment while I was committed against my will, but that was unfortunate and deliberate instead of accidental and will not be repeated.

>>11368895
